Bed Rest Not the Best for Beating Back Pain

Bed Rest Not the Best for Beating Back Pain

Jun 29, 2016

Contrary to popular relief bed rest is not the best option for resolving back pain. Current studies show continued activity speeds up the recovery process for those suffering with back pain. That is why we encourage all of our patients to stay active throughout their care with us and even after their problem is resolved.

"As a sports medicine doctor you want to deliver the most comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment for your patients, that’s why I refer my patients to chiropractic care because I know for sure they will bring the best treatment option for them. They are reliable but most importantly they are available. They accommodate my patients the same day and treat them with the professionalism that they deserve."

Fr. Jan

Priest

St. Margaret Of York Parish

"I have been a patient of Dr. Mike Rohlfs for approximately six years and in that time he has helped me through some pretty serious issues with my lower back. He has been willing to take time in his treatment and to offer advice in overcoming the issues that have arisen. He has always made it a point to let me know what I need to do in order to improve my condition and recognizes when a different treatment is necessary and has referred me to other methods of pain management that he felt might be more effective. I highly recommend Dr. Rohlfs and have sent family members, friends and parishioners to him for treatment."
